Houston, we have a draft! And I wanted to have it by 3pm. Not too bad...
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

And - in an abrupt change of subject - Susan, you may have carpenter bees.
Would those be some kind of house-destroying bees? Not too worried, because the two from yesterday weren't super-near the house, more at the edge of the road, where the car and the mailbox live. And they weren't bumblebee shaped, but much more like a honeybee or a yellow jacket.

Carpenter bees, at least the ones I have seen, are big and fuzzy looking compared to honeybees. there are quite a few flies that mimic bees in appearance, you might have some of those, too.

Definitely not it. They were probably honeybees--kinda skinny, and with a sort of all-over yellow and black stripe pattern.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
We have carpenter bees around my apartment. They're kinda not horrible. I'm terrified of bees/wasps/hornets, but I can watch a carpenter bee from a few yards away and keep my fear response to a minimum.

Still haven't seen anything that looked just like it, though the honeybee was the closest.
I'm going to assume that any buzzy creature shaped anything like a bee, wasp, hornet, or yellow jacket can sting me. I'd rather be scared unnecessarily of a fly than get stung, because, OW!

With the way that looks in italics, I was certain this said "shakes her porn porns." And I thought, 'Whatever works.'
